I don't wanna be one of those people who stand in a shop for 45 minutes talking to another old person not walking pissing people off 😂

Joshyboiiiiii

Hahhahaha. Being old sucks. My mom tells me everyday 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

He's massively underrated. I don't wanna live long, old people suck

He was good as new. You would never guess there had ever been anything wrong with him. After seeing other cats that had suffered through similar ordeals, he was one very lucky kitty 😸 and while not the most important thing, it only cost me $90 rather than the thousands the vets had quoted.

There are some crazy theories out there, but I never understood why different ideas and ways of thinking divide. I get that some people have things wrong, but the world would be a better place if we could all just agree to disagree from time to time.

Mandy Cane Lane

I have never even heard of that theory before! But yeah, doesn't make much sense. 🤓

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh man, glad kitty recovered! I personally believe things I can see and that have been proven. Many scientificaly proven facts make no sense though 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Nothing wrong with that at all 🤗🙌🏻🤪

It is fascinating when you get people with formal backgrounds in a discipline who go off on bizarre tangents away from proven, established norms. The YouTube channel Mud Fossil University is absolutely nuts, and the so called geologists that work for AiG are just straight up dishonest in their attempt to legitimise a young earth paradigm. The whole expanding earth thing, I only came across fairly recently, and couldn't believe it. ANOTHER one. Flat earth, hollow earth, young earth, now expanding earth! What the heck is next!?

Feathers McGraw

Don't be a busy See you next Tuesday. It was a conversation banter between me and Jeff.

Charlie Costa

I'm now curious why you didn't understand that I understood it was a joke? No need for name calling.

It’s my first time watching Tim’s live performance of this. I’ve seen the animated version a few times, it’s worth a watch too. His non-verbal expressions in this version do add a whole ton of meaning and sub context here though. It’s probably the better version. Sometimes I like to sneak in a little critical thinking when talking to people with “alternative” views, to see if they’re paying attention, or trip over themselves 🤣 A few years ago, in my previous job, a colleague of mine revealed he was an exponent of the “expanding earth theory”. Now, paradoxically he also had a background in geology! I’m going to butcher this theory somewhat, but to oversimplify, “expanding earth theory” attempts to explain continental drift: the slow migration of the continental land masses over billions of years. It was a seriously considered theory before the plate tectonics theory won over because the evidence supports it! This guy was hell bent, to the extent of fanatic zeal, of writing a book, explaining “expanding earth theory”, dashing the accepted “establishment” plate tectonics theory and blowing the minds of the academic world and wider lay audience. I spent several occasions entertaining his ideas trying to understand how serious he was, and how bizarre his propositions were, in order to explain what plate tectonics theory does with simplicity. As the theory’s name suggests, in order to explain the apparent drift in the land masses, he proposes that the earth was originally all land, much much smaller than it is today, and the earth is, was and always has been - expanding, from the inside. And because it’s expanding, cracks form in the land, water fills the gaps, and over time the gaps get bigger and are filled with oceans, This implies the earth is continually growing in mass, and not just a little bit, by a f*ck ton! So he also has to explain where all this mass is coming from! It flies in the face of planetary formation and other well established cosmological phenomena. The amount of non-controversial theories he has to deny, debunk and provide an alternative explanation for, is mind boggling. It was all consuming with him, he already started writing several chapters of the book. My geology is high school level, so I could only ask questions there, but I posed a few challenging questions on the physics, the solutions to which were to deny current theory and promise an alternative explanation in his book! 🤪 cray cray

This is subject matter that is very complicated for me. I used to believe in all kinds of weird stuff but then critical thinking and logic etc got the better of me. My sister-in-law sounds a bit like Storm, and she thinks that believing in woo-woo stuff makes her open-minded. I would suggest that, refusing to consider the possibility that what she believes is not real, makes her very closed-minded.🤷‍♂️ The one problem I have with this whole subject, that seriously tests my healthy scepticism, is I have experienced what could be described as the 'miraculous' healing of my first cat after he was totalled by a car (there was nothing miraculous about it of course, it was just highly unconventional and falls outside the realm of modern science or medicine). That's too long a story for here, but personally leaves me open at least, to almost any possibility. Geez, another long one. Can't help myself apparently.🤪 Hope you're doing well 🫶

Feathers McGraw

I seem to spend the extra time that modern medicine and discoveries have given me by watching videos on youtube and patreon. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gjermund Higraff

I'm curious why you are to thick to understand the joke!!!!!!

Charlie Costa

You're an athiest and yet you sold your soul to the Devil!? 🤔 curious 😉🤪

Feathers McGraw

I sold my soul to the devil for the love of my life.

Charlie Costa

I will pray for your soul.

Jeffrey44

I'm an atheist.

Charlie Costa

May God be with you, Charlie Costa.

Jeffrey44

Oh Mandy, you and your like for Sin Cuntchin loooooooool I suppose I like People that actually support Arsenal and Spurs too loooool. Anyway... I hope you are well and thank you for your hard work. We all appreciate it xx
